Rising attorney turns "Rising Star"
By Nadia Felder
Rising attorney and 2015 graduate of the FAMU College of Law, Isaiah Floyd, admits he doesn't have an ego. He strongly believes there's nothing wrong, with being wrong – if it's not more than once.
Perhaps it was this mentality that led him to be recognized as the "2017 Rising Star" during the law school's Annual Distinguished Alumni Awards.
This award is given to graduates who have well-established themselves in the legal practice while impacting their community, just two short years after their graduation.
"Becoming an award winner did not change me. I believe in the saying, 'Never get too high on the highs and too low on the lows', Floyd said. "My dreams are bigger than one night."
One of Floyd's first dreams was to pass the bar exam on the first try. Not only did Floyd reach that dream, but he also landed a position as an Associate Attorney at Mont's Law, P.L. directly after graduation.
He also made time to inspire young lives along the way. Both before and after becoming an attorney, Floyd spent hours speaking with students in high-poverty and low-performance high schools throughout Florida, from Tallahassee, to Sanford and even his Tampa hometown. In fact, on several occasions he was personally invited by principals to speak during school programs.
"I spend most of my time speaking to the youth about choices. I have always believed that "life is about choices" and I spend about an hour or two hammering that into their brains," said Floyd. "I also expressed the need for black lawyers and how it could potentially change the justice system."
In the office, Floyd spends crazy long hours dedicated to meeting the needs of his clients and their cases. As a young attorney, Floyd is constantly seeking new and innovative information to better represent his clients, even if it means coming into the office on weekends. Floyd has accounted for over seven hundred thousand dollars ($700,000) in settlements for injured clients.
"To be successful, you have to effectively communicate…which requires understanding different backgrounds, cultures, etc.," said Floyd. "I was exposed to a variety of people during my student leadership period, which is why I am good at communicating now."
Most of his legal success he attributes to his involvement within student leadership in both undergrad and law school. During his days at Florida State University (FSU), Floyd served as the president of his fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma. During law school, he served as a student ambassador which sparked his interest in the American Bar Association. He eventually became a Lieutenant Governor of Regional Affairs for the organization.
When asked what inspires him today, Floyd questioned not what inspires him, but who.
"My father has always been a hard worker dedicated to serving his community," he said. "I would hope to be half the man he is."
Tips for success from Floyd:
- Be the master of your own image, rather than letting others define it for you.
- Never put off for tomorrow, what you can do today.
- Lose your ego.

This is the first part of a little story about my personal quest to find a solution to my subcommand needs. If you think you might have such needs, if you are not sure if you do, or if you are simply curious, please read on.
Where I work, we develop a product that is based on several subsystems, written in various languages and with different degrees of autonomy. In order to provide an homogeneous development environment, we use a chrooted sandbox that tries to imitate the actual environment where out software will run. We also have access to some actual hardware boxes for testing our full images or the actual network communication between boxes, and so on.
This basically means that in my daily work, in order to test stuff, I have to run a thousand commands, all of them written in different times, by different people, without conventions, sometimes without documentation, sometimes even written in Perl (I know!).
This was giving me headaches, so I started to write little command wrappers grouped by topic. I wrote them as shell functions, since some of them would require changing the current directory on the running shell. One of these wrappers, for example one called foo, would look like this:
# Check if the given name can be executed as a command has_dep() { [[ -z $1 ]] && return 1 type -t "$1" > /dev/null } # A light launcher for all things 'foo-' foo() { local subcommand="$1" shift command="foo-$subcommand" if has_dep "$command" ; then $command "$@" else echo "Command 'foo $subcommand' not found" has_dep foo-help && foo-help fi }
With this simple structure, I can then have a collection of programs, scripts, functions, aliases, whatever, as long as its name starts with foo-, that can be launched with this foo wrapper/launcher. It will call foo-help if it exists in cases where the entered subcommand does not exists.
For this to be usable for me at all, I had to set up shell completion for it. This is how:
__complete_foo() { compgen -c foo- | sed 's/^foo-//' | grep "^$2.*" } complete -C __complete_foo -o default foo
This is more than enough for a simple need, but after I had created four or five of those, with a number of subcommands each, my environment ended up being polluted with lots of those subcommands in the PATH.
Also, the help command for each one needs to be maintained in sync with available subcommands manually and, even worse, shell completion works only up to the second token (the subcommand).
More problems appeared when I started playing a bit with the Fish shell, but I found myself extremely unproductive without all my bash functions and wrapper/launchers, so I started trying to port them. It was a pain, and it was not worth it, since I might choose to change shells again the week after.
And so I started to look for some way to organise scripts in a hierarchy of sub commands, with these requirements:
- Multiple levels of subcommands, so that I could put everything under a huge master command called perhaps work.
- An easy way to keep documentation and inline help synchronised with the changes in the commands.
- Some easy way to provide shell completion, all the way in.
- Ideally, that I could have the subcommands outside the PATH, to keep the environment clean.
So, for a while, all I found was SM. It seems like a great project, and I started trying to implement my needs with it, I got a lot of help from the maintainers. BUT it was simply too much. I could not understand exactly how it worked and at some point I got stuck getting the most basic bits to behave as expected, so I temporarily gave up and continued using my simple wrappers and trying to port them to Fish.
But hope was not lost, and, in fact, I found another tool that, while simple enough to be understood in a short session of "just looking at the code", it provided most of my requirements. But that, I'll leave for part II.

We choose to be born in this evil world so that we may expound the unsurpassed Law
the Lotus of the Wonderful Law
relinquish their claim to the pure land
and out of pity for living beings are born here.
Know that persons such as these
freely choose where they will be born,
and choose to be born in this evil world
so they may broadly expound the unsurpassed Law."
– Chapter 10 : The Teacher of the Law.
4 comments:
Please remember that this passage comes from the Theoretical section of the Lotus Sutra. In reality, this is the Buddha's Eternal Pure Land:ReplyDelete
The masses of beings see the kalpas exhausted,
When they are burned by the great fires;
This land of mine is peaceful and secure;
Gods and humans ever fill it. Gardens
and forests and various halls and pavilions,
With various types of jewels adorned; On the
jewelled trees many flowers and fruit, Wherein
the masses of beings take their pleasure
and rejoice. The gods strike the celestial drums,
Ever making instrumental music.
Raining mandara flowers. Scattering them
Over the Buddha and the great assemblies.
Though My Pure Land is not destroyed,
Yet the masses see it burned up,
Worrisome fears and agonizing sufferings
And such things all filling it up. These
beings of various sins, Because of the causes
and conditions of their evil karma, Though
they pass through asemkheyas of kalpas,
Do not hear the name of the Three Jewels.
Those who have performed merit,
Who are gentle and pliant, simple and upright,
Then all see my body." LS chapter 16
Yes, yes, yes,yes,yes!ReplyDelete
Clown Hidden, have you been over to the "new" arbn. Things are heating up. I believe Chas, Richard, Julian, and Space Treasury [SGI and NST] are getting crushed. Would like your opinion.ReplyDelete
""Those who are capable of embracing
the Lotus of the Wonderful Law
relinquish their claim to the pure land
and out of pity for living beings are born here.
Know that persons such as these
freely choose where they will be born,
and choose to be born in this evil world
so they may broadly expound the unsurpassed Law."
– Chapter 10 : The Teacher of the Law."
There is no mention of that *these people* are Buddhas-- Yet, SGI and other Nichiren Shoshu followers claim they are "originally Buddhas"--and also call themselves "bodhisattva Buddhas"-- Where did they get this idea?
Who are the living beings that inhabit the Saha world ? SGI and other Nichiren shoshu followers would have you believe that Buddhas reside here-- just waiting to be tapped on the head by the high priest or the eternal mentor's minions.
Nichiren describes us living beings here like this :
"Since all the lands in the ten directions, with the exception of this sahā world, are pure lands, their people, being gentlehearted, neither abuse nor hate the worthies and sages. In contrast, this world is inhabited by people who were rejected from the pure lands in the ten directions. They have committed the ten evil acts or the five cardinal sins, slandered the worthies and sages, and have been unfilial to their fathers and mothers or disrespectful to the monks. For these offenses they fell into the three evil paths, and only after dwelling there for countless kalpas were they reborn in this world. Yet the residue of the evil karma formed in their previous existences has not yet been eradicated, and they still tend to perpetrate the ten evil acts or the five cardinal sins, to revile the worthies and sages, and to be undutiful to their fathers and mothers or irreverent toward the monks." {"The Four Debts of Gratitude")
Again-- No mention of the Buddha reunion SGI claims to be celebrating--
And how did Nichiren view himself amongst all living beings in this saha world?
"There is one other thing for which I am most grateful. While transmigrating in the six paths for the duration of countless kalpas, I may have encountered a number of sovereigns and become their favorite minister or regent. If so, I must have been granted fiefs and accorded treasures and stipends. Never once, however, did I encounter a sovereign in whose country the Lotus Sutra had spread, so that I could hear its name, practice it and, on that very account, be slandered by other people and have the ruler send me into exile. The Lotus Sutra states, "As for this Lotus Sutra, throughout immeasurable numbers of lands one cannot even hear its name, much less be able to see it, accept and embrace, read and recite it."6 Thus those people who slandered me and the ruler [who had me banished] are the very persons to whom I owe the most profound debt of gratitude." ("The four Debts of Gratitude")
Does this sound like the confessions of *The Original Buddha*?-- or does it bring into sharp focus the extent to which SGI and other followers of Nichiren Shoshu have fabricated and distorted Nichiren's teachings?
Time to "Send in the Clowns?" -- :-D

Welcome to Lumpy Gravy
Welcome to Lumpy Gravy indeed. The site appears no different today than yesterday, but behind the scenes it's a whole different story.
After 6+ months of good service, Uncle Meat, the HP DL380 which has hosted this site since October of 2010, has been replaced. Running a system which was designed to (and formerly did) occupy a corporate datacenter in your home sadly proved impossibly noisy, and Uncle Meat was moved to the garden shed shortly after coming online.
This was actually a pretty decent (if hacky) solution – the shed was freezing cold all winter and noone went outside because of the unfriendly weather. However, things in Sussex have taken a turn for the lovely, and with temperatures outside approaching 30 degrees, Uncle Meat has met a couple of issues which have precluded its continued employment.
This DL380 sports a pair of 2.80GHz Xeons, which are great for number crunching but, because of their NetBurst architecture, kick out a phenomenal amount of heat. Because of this, running 24/7 in 30 degree plus heat (even with the window open) is not the most reliable environment, and a far cry from the air conditioned datacenter it formerly called home. The noise of the cooling array is what evicted it from the house originally, and with more time being spent in the garden it's no longer an okay place for Uncle Meat to be.
It's been great fun learning the ropes on this machine, but life must continue and this site now has a newer, quieter and faster home – introducing Lumpy Gravy.
Lumpy Gravy is a decent step up in specification despite coming into existence on a shoestring budget, and it's been designed with practicality in mind from the outset. Specs are as follows:
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.40GHz, 4MB L2)
- 2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2
- 500GB Western Digital Caviar Green HDD
- Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit
The Core 2 CPU is a decent amount quicker than the pair of Xeons it replaces, and has much better energy saving features. It's running at a cool 30 degrees using only the stock Intel cooler, spinning at just 850rpm (= quiet!).
Even though this is definitely a system on a budget, I went for decent quality RAM – Corsair XMS is designed for overclockers and both DIMMs have heatsinks on either side. Because I'm not overclocking, this should be a really stable solution (it's always very reassuring to be working with components well within their tolerances). I've been building with ASUS boards since the late 90s and they've never given me any reason to change allegiance. This one has really nice square VRMs which are designed to fit perfectly with the outer fins of the CPU cooler – a neat touch which helps with heat dissipation and should keep this rig stable. It's running a G31 chipset, with a minimal 8MB RAM shared with the integrated GMA 3100.
Western Digital is another brand I've used almost exclusively for over a decade now, and their current range of Caviar drives is very well thought out, providing clear options depending on the system builder's priorities. In this case, my priorities were minimal power consumption, quiet operation and long term reliability. The Caviar Green was the obvious choice for me – it spins at 5400RPM (quieter, longer life) but has 32MB of cache memory, ideal for a web server.
I've also taken this opportunity to upgrade Ubuntu to the latest and greatest – 10.10 in 64-bit. Yes, I'm only running 2GB RAM, but this gives the opportunity to upgrade past 4GB in the future, as well as the (occasionally noticeable) performance benefits of running 64-bit software.
So that's Lumpy Gravy, the new home of zebpedersen.co.uk and my associated 'cloudy' bits and pieces. I'm currently working on a handy guide for anyone porting a WordPress site from one machine to another, and there's some exciting new configurations I'm working on with Apache 2 which will be written about shortly as well.

Pastor Cinque and a Panel of other callers debate Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson on the issue of Gentrification and race. One of the callers asks "Why wouldn't Blacks like it if people are coming in and bringing in higher property values?" Pastor Cinque wraps up the debate and closes the deal mentioning how higher property values= higher property taxes, and Black property owners do not like people coming into the community with higher property taxes that forces them out of their homes.
The Pastor does commentary on subjects such as;
- HOOKING AND BOOKING BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN HEBREW "NIGGAS" (Slaves) WITH ILLEGAL EVERYTHING AS GENOCIDE AND ETHNIC CLEANSING TO CLEAR THE COMMUNITY OUT.
Whites using the Law to criminalize Black Folks behaviors with "Illegal Everything" to jail and break up families so people will be too poor to pay their property taxes, and or mortgage. These Families are forced into small cramped apartments in the suburbs where police are even more eager than the cities to gain $40,000 Federal Funds for each person they place in the prison system.
The Pastor shows a clip from Fox where Blacks and demonized for Looting from stores when they were getting resources for their families, while armed Whites were going house to house "Picking" from homeowners. Of course one of the commentators quickly corporately cleans it up, when it obviously sounded Racist, and demonized "White Pickers" and equated them the same as "Black Looters" before the segment ended.

'The oil boom in the Bakken has not busted' according to ND petroleum council president
Moorhead, MN (WDAY TV) - Then oil boom in the Bakken has not busted, according to the President of the North Dakota Petroleum Council, Ron Ness.
He addressed Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo chamber members this morning for an update on declining production, on Tuesday.
As of this morning there are 58 rigs currently drilling.
Last year at this time, there were 186.
"The question is, 'is the great big bust coming?' This is not a bust. This is a market correction. A much deeper market correction than what we saw, but it's so much different from what we saw in the 80s," said Ness.
Ness also says he doesn't think the number of drilling rigs is a good measure of oil production anymore since the rigs can drill more wells in a shorter amount of time.
He says the number of completed wells is more telling – that number is currently at 13,000.

This month marks our nation's 238th birthday. It's not a nice, neatly numbered anniversary like the 200th or 250th, to be sure — but it is an important one. Those 238 years show that Americans are still dedicated to pursuing and protecting freedom, whatever that might mean to them individually and as a nation.
For some, freedom means the ability to make a living doing what they love, perhaps by sharing with others not only the physical, but the spiritual and psychological benefits of yoga. For others, it's the right to say what they really think or to make sure everyone has the information they need to make informed choices (we here at Nature's Pathways are pretty partial to this one, we'll admit). And for others still, it's the simple opportunity to live a healthy, happy life, enjoying the company of friends and family.
What are the freedoms you hold most dear? What do you fight for in your life?
Perhaps you believe it is of the utmost importance to enjoy unspoiled, untainted natural resources. Jennifer Semrau of Winnebago County Solid Waste offers information on how you can help protect the environment by using "Household alternatives to hazardous materials." Meanwhile, Outagamie County is celebrating caring for the earth with an upcoming near-zero-waste festival. Learn more in Tani Grimh's article, "Sustainability message is music to the ears."
If you're a mom-to-be, you might be pursuing the freedom to create a birth plan that works best for you and your baby. Thanks Givings Doula Services' Chelsie Towns offers valuable information in her second "Choices in Childbirth" article, while Mother's Advocate Doula Services' Mary Smits offers "Freedom from birth myths."
Some people crave freedom from the daily 9-to-5 grind. Lisa Jermain offers insight into how network marketing can help in "Thinking outside the cubicle."
This July, take some time to reflect on those opportunities you wouldn't want to live without and do your part to keep freedom alive.
Wishing you good health in all respects,
The Nature's Pathways Team

As a homeowner, you might not have issues with finding the right kind of window treatments because you know the kind of windows in your house. Renters, on the other hand, especially those who move a lot, do not have this luxury. With every move, there is a new window type and size to consider.
For the most part, you may not want to spend so much money on window treatments because let's face it, you will move again and you just don't know what kind of windows you will find at the next house. So, to save money yet still have your house look good, at least through the window, you need to have a few cheap hacks for window treatments up your sleeve.
Buy your windows a tuxedo
White linen curtains paid up with black rods are generally the tuxedo for windows. You simply cannot go wrong with this match up. The best thing about this is that the combination works with almost every style. An additional advantage is that this colour combination allows you to go wild with everything else in the room. Having white linen curtains with black rods is the ultimate cheap window treatment hack that does not tie your hands behind your back at all.
Use curtain rings
Using curtain rings is the best way to ensure that you have curtains that can be opened and closed easily. Another advantage is that you can still maintain the all important aesthetics of the room. With the right kind of curtains, you will have curtains with pinched pleats that look beautiful whether the curtains are open or closed.
Look for affordable options of the favourite classics
To do this efficiently, all you would have to do is find popular interior design bloggers and see what kind of curtains or blinds they are recommending. Once you have the list, simply log onto Google and search for cheaper versions or second-hand options of the same thing. In most cases, you will find people like yourself who have to move and need new window treatments. These people will probably want to sell their old window treatments and if you are lucky, you will find something very good at a fraction of the original price.
Make your own curtains and treatments
This is where your creativity comes into play. If you have a creative bone in you, designing and making your own curtains will not only be a breeze but it will also be fun and highly affordable. Look at all your favourite window treatment designs online and find the original designs or art work that went into creating them. After that, try to have fun while you try to recreate an exact replica or simply add your own flair to the designs. This will give you highly unique window treatments and save you money.
These are very cheap hacks for window treatments that you can use to keep the windows in your home well decorated even if you move often.

- gateway DNS name or IP address for the VPN
- username/password for access to the VPN server
- group name/password for the VPN settings
Special Note - these instructions are for connecting to the VPN using the Cisco Systems VPN client. If you are looking for instructions related to using the open source alternative to the Cisco AnyConnect client (openconnect), have a look at my post entitled: How To Connect Ubuntu Linux to Cisco VPN with openconnect (anyconnect-capable alternative)
sudo apt-get install vpnc network-manager-vpnc
At this point you can try restarting your session (ctrl-alt-backspace if you have it configured via keyboard>Layout Settings>Options>Key Sequence to kill the X server), but it may take a full reboot of the computer for the settings to take effect.
Now, open the network manager, hover over VPN Connections, then click Configure VPN..., then click Add, select "Cisco Compatible VPN (vpnc)". Tip: if, for some reason, your network manager icon is not displaying the VPN Connections selection, launch the terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and start a new Network Manager applet with the command 'nm-applet' (no quotes). This will make two Network Manager controls, but the second one will likely have the "VPN Connections" control.
Enter your username, groupname, group password (set the dropdown to save the group password if it is very long ).
Ubuntu 11.10 Example:
Ubuntu 10.10 Example:
Click Apply to save the connection settings. To connect, simply click the Network Manager icon in your panel, hover over VPN connections, click your connection, then enter your VPN password when prompted. Easy, peasy.. That's it!

Seeing Feeling: An Interview with Photography Editor Colleen Barnett
Photography Editor Colleen Barnett lets us see past her photographs and into the mind that creates them.
Catch Business: Please provide a little history as to what prompted you to begin taking photographs.
Colleen Barnett: I started taking photographs when I was around 12 or 13. My father gave me a Sony digital camera with 7 megapixels and I began to carry it around with me everywhere. That thing took sweeter pictures than some of these 22 megapixel point-and-shoot cameras you see at Best Buy. Something about taking pictures of things - stupid things like leaves with water dripping off or my best friend laughing - then looking back at them, was so interesting. I could change the color or change the lighting and all of a sudden it felt different when I looked at it.
How do you feel about the way your photography has progressed over time? And what have you learned about yourself thru taking photos?
It began as a mindless hobby and then transformed into a way for me to interpret the world. Extremely mindful.
The majority of my photos have words attached - poems, stories, or short sentences. I learned that I enjoy taking photographs because it conveyed how I was feeling in that exact moment in time. It was a snapshot into my life. The words were extra support. I never enjoyed taking photographs of babies or professional snapshots - I enjoyed lonely trees, bruised legs, bursting sunsets, and people not posing. My photos have always been for myself, not others.
When I took photographs, I could redo my feelings. I could re-angle something and it looked more sullen than before. I could make the tree appear bigger and thus more protective. I could have someone barely smile as they looked into the camera and suddenly it felt more mysterious. I could have the same person smile obnoxiously, pair the photographs together, and then it was two contrasting emotions.
When do you feel most inspired? When do you feel most comfortable behind or in front of the camera?
A lot of my life has been documentation. Writing and photography has been my way of making sense of it all. Especially when I was younger, I never felt this huge wave of "inspiration", I just felt like I had to "take note", if that makes sense. My photographs are just my day to day life. I was and am a very emotional person, so my inspiration was to document how I was/am feeling, and then put it somewhere - in a photograph or a writing piece. I suppose it's true when people say art is expressing. I felt like if I didn't express everything, I would explode.
I always feel comfortable behind a camera. I actually feel uncomfortable behind my camera phone. I think that's because everyone uses their camera phone these days and somehow my real camera makes what I'm doing more official? I'm not too shy in front of one because I know what it's like to want a photograph of someone not squirming around. But I'm like most people. The photo snaps and I say, "Let me see!"
To me, your photos feel very narrative. Do you believe that a picture's worth 1000 words? If so, what do you think is the most important thing for you to express through your photos?
I definitely believe that. That's my favorite part of looking at other people's photography - imagining the story behind it. Everyone has a unique story that was formed from a million different variables. For me, the most important thing is emotion. If someone looks at my photographs and feels something, I've accomplished something. You have now connected to me.
Your photographs vary from focused parts of the body to distorted images of nature. What are the similarities and differences between each kind of environment?
I can only think of similarities. I've always had a battle with my body and the world around me. Nature versus nurture. Am I in control of my emotions or are my emotions in control of me? Since a young age, I've always paid close attention to cause and effect. The sun didn't shine and I felt a certain way. Someone commented on my body and it was another emotion. Neil Young's Harvest Moon played to the setting sun, placid. Explosions in the Sky played as it snowed quietly at 3am, emptiness. Everything became connected in my mind, body and nature. Something always played off another event. Now that I'm older, I don't feel such a strong pull as I once did. So I suppose the differences are my older photographs versus my younger photographs. Now, the two environments are not so closely based off each other.
What do you see as the major difference between shooting in black/white and color?
I always felt like draining the color from the photograph funneled everything into something more placid, emptier, less chaotic, and less vivid. It dulled certain parts and contrasted the parts that needed to be bright. The photo didn't need color to tell the story.
What are your two ferrets names? And how do animals influence your photography?
Gary and Fiona. Fiona was named after Fiona Apple. Gary always acted like an old man from the beginning, so he was named old man Gary. Unfortunately, both have since passed. I've always been a huge animal person. My ferrets were my first pets that I bought myself. I was 16. I was in a dark place when I bought my male ferret and I promised myself I would become healthier to properly care for him. And so I did. I find animals fascinating and comforting. They're on a completely different platform than us intellectually and yet we live with them, side-by-side. Very interesting in a way I can't explain.
There's a superstition that if you take someone's picture, you take a part of their soul. Do you believe this in some sense?
Absolutely. It's a fluid exchange. I can observe a part of them for a moment in time. That part of them may not exist years down the road but in that moment I captured it. It was real. They were real.
Is there magic behind a good photo? Or what do you think it takes to capture the perfect photograph?
I think the magic lives within the motive. Why take a photo of this? What am I trying to get across? Am I revealing something about this person, sans words? What does this moment in time mean? Does this photograph make people think and feel? Have I made a physical documentation of an emotion?

Non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) are a large variety of chemically different compounds, such as benzene, ethanol, formaldehyde, cyclohexane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane or acetone.
Essentially, NMVOCs are identical to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), but with methane excluded. An important subset of NMVOCs are the non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs). Methane is excluded in air-pollution contexts because it is not harmful. Its low reactivity and thus long livetime in the atmosphere, however, makes it an important greenhouse gas.
Sometimes NMVOC is also used as a sum parameter for emissions, where all NMVOC emissions are added up per weight into one figure. In absence of more detailed data, this can be a very coarse parameter for pollution (e.g. for summer smog or indoor air pollution).

The Chevy Silverado is my new favorite pickup truck. Even while firmly on the bench of the truck battles between Ford and Chevy - I always quietly considered myself a Ford guy.
Yes, even when the F-150 was saddled with the most anemic V8 engines in the world. It just felt more like me. A new F-150 comes out next week in Detroit, so the battle is about to get serious.
But I am a huge Chevy Silverado fan after spending a week in this big sweetie. This 1500 LT Double Cab V6 might seem like a wimpy specification on paper - but the Chevy is quick and sounds good on hard throttle.
The combination of plenty of torque and the brilliant new six-speed automatic, plus 4x2 on this tester, means that the All Star Edition 1500 is fun to drive fast.
Video reviews are coming along tomorrow, but I'm eager to share today's photo shoot of 67 high-res images. Despite being -14 degrees (F) outside, the Chevy was able to keep my fingers and toes warm enough while retreating to the truck when it got too chilly.
We also got a car wash - from the only unfrozen one I have found in the last week - which was interesting. All the dangling brushes were frozen solid, but the Silverado did not blink.
A quick rinse is worth it for the bright red it reveals. This truck looked great in August, looked great buried in snow, and looks great frozen solid on chilly days today.
Best of all? The heater is huge, with more warmth that my Subaru's little vent fans could ever dream of providing. Remote start is also a feature Silverado owners will never want to live without either.
So if your current truck is drafty and stuck in the ice somewhere, trade up to the 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT All Star Edition before the next big storm hits...

Shot Analytics data is compiled from publicly available play-by-play logs and shot data. Our system compiles data from multiple sources before analyzing and cleaning the available shot locations to determine the best available data set.
While we work to ensure the shot information is as accurate as possible, the data is not 100% accurate. There may be some minor errors due to human error (someone has to manually enter the shot information, and they occasionally mess up). More significantly, there might not be a shot data log for every single game.
Shot data is loaded on a nightly basis, but we are constantly checking for errors and will make updates as required.
Currently, we have shot charts for every NBA team, but only support NCAA teams from the AAC, ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Conference USA, SEC, Pac-12 conferences along with a handful of other select Division I teams. Data for other college teams is available but it is limited to games against supported teams.
Our current list of NCAA supported teams is: Alabama Crimson Tide, Arizona Wildcats, Arizona State Sun Devils, Arkansas Razorbacks, Auburn Tigers, Baylor Bears, Boston College Eagles, Butler Bulldogs, California Golden Bears, Charlotte 49ers, Cincinnati Bearcats, Clemson Tigers, Colorado Buffaloes, Connecticut Huskies, Creighton Bluejays, DePaul Blue Demons, Duke Blue Devils, East Carolina Pirates, FIU Golden Panthers, Florida Gators, Florida Atlantic Owls, Florida State Seminoles, Georgetown Hoyas, Georgia Bulldogs, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Gonzaga Bulldogs, Houston Cougars, Illinois Fighting Illini, Indiana Hoosiers, Iowa Hawkeyes, Iowa State Cyclones, Kansas Jayhawks, Kansas State Wildcats, Kentucky Wildcats, Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, Louisville Cardinals, LSU Tigers, Marquette Golden Eagles, Marshall Thundering Herd, Maryland Terrapins, Memphis Tigers, Miami (FL) Hurricanes, Michigan Wolverines, Michigan State Spartans, Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders, Minnesota Golden Gophers, Mississippi State Bulldogs, Missouri Tigers, Nebraska Cornhuskers, North Carolina Tar Heels, North Carolina State Wolfpack, North Texas Mean Green, Northwestern Wildcats, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Ohio State Buckeyes, Oklahoma Sooners, Oklahoma State Cowboys, Old Dominion Monarchs, Ole Miss Rebels, Oregon Ducks, Oregon State Beavers, Penn State Nittany Lions, Pittsburgh Panthers, Providence Friars, Purdue Boilermakers, Rice Owls, Rutgers Scarlet Knights, San Diego State Aztecs, Seton Hall Pirates, SMU Mustangs, South Carolina Gamecocks, South Florida Bulls, Southern Miss Golden Eagles, St. John's Red Storm, Stanford Cardinal, Syracuse Orange, TCU Horned Frogs, Temple Owls, Tennessee Volunteers, Texas Longhorns, Texas A&M Aggies, Texas Tech Red Raiders, Tulane Green Wave, Tulsa Golden Hurricane, UAB Blazers, UCF Knights, UCLA Bruins, USC Trojans, Utah Runnin' Utes, UTEP Miners, UTSA Roadrunners, Vanderbilt Commodores, Villanova Wildcats, Virginia Cavaliers, Virginia Tech Hokies, Wake Forest Demon Deacons, Washington Huskies, Washington State Cougars, West Virginia Mountaineers, Wichita State Shockers, Wisconsin Badgers, Xavier Musketeers.
Shot Analytics is not just a data repository, but also a visual tool. Shot Analytics provides more than traditional shot charts; it also enables you to quickly perform analysis and scouting.
To reset the filters select the 'Reset All' link at the bottom of the screen, or click the icon next to a specific graph.
Points Above Expectation is a statistic inspired by Kirk Goldsberry's ShotScore. The statistic measures the number of points that a player or team scored (or defender) from a collection of shot locations compared to the number of points that the average shooter would have scored from those same locations.
Our leaderboards feature both total Points Above Expectation and Points Above Expectation Per 100 Shots.
Building this site and tool took a significant amount of time, and the servers that support the site aren't free. We'd love to give away our product for free, but at this time it isn't feasible.
Yes, within moderation and with a link back to ShotAnalytics.com. You can post two or three charts in an article or blog post, but please don't re-publish our entire database. Embeddable versions of the charts are set to be released soon.
2014-15 NCAA Shot Charts will be available by November 21st, from then on they will be updated nightly.
Probably. If you have an idea, don't hesitate to email me at email@example.com.
We can also create custom reports or dashboards. If you need custom services or want to integrate your proprietary data into a similar tool, send an email .

We had our first dance lesson last night with Coppelia and could not have been happier with our experience. Neither of us has ever danced and we are way beyond the age of easy movement, yet Coppelia made us feel at ease and we learned a lot. Most of all, we had a truly enjoyable experience - it was so much fun! - and cannot wait to return next week. In addition to being a truly talented dancer, Coppelia is warm and friendly and you get the clear impression she wants you to enjoy dance and movement for yourself. Her studio is warm and inviting and the personal attention we received was unbelievable. She taught to our needs (and believe me we are starting at the most basic level) and made both of us feel like we had the ability to dance. I would recommend Coppelia to anyone - she will not disappoint! We are looking forward to working with her on a regular basis.

Rita is wonderful! We are already on our second 90 minute lesson and in two sessions we've learned MORE than eight hour lessons in a typical dance studio that we initially tried.
Natasha Maughan taught my son when he was 2 years old. every Saturday he looked forward to her dance lessons. he jumped for the first time in her class and every time we drive near where the dance studio is, he remembers, points to it and comments that he use to dance there with 'Aunty Tasha'. He was 8 last birthday and still remembers his amazing dance teacher.

My son and I had a private dance lesson today with Kristy to help us prepare for our Mother-Son dance at his upcoming wedding - it was fabulous!! We were pretty awkward at first, but Kristy quickly put us at ease and by the end we were doing all kinds of turns! It was so much fun and really helped us - Kristy was well prepared with our song and had some great idea - we are both so glad we went!!
This instructor is nothing but lovely. She is professional and yet leaves space to have fun and makes the whole experience enjoyable. She pays attention to what your goals are so that you can get the most out of her instruction. She brings such a positive energy every time I have had a lesson with her. I've had other instructors but none compare. I highly recommend her. You will not regret it!

A modern day child of the Nephilim
New Bond Girl Proud of Her 'Little Oddity'
by Jonathan Crow | October 7 , 2008
Bond girls have long been exceptional women. From Ursula Andress to Halle Berry, they have each embodied the feminine ideal of their particular time. Gemma Arterton, the statuesque stunner who plays Agent Fields in next month's Quantum of Solace, has proven herself to be exceptional not only for her English Rose beauty, but also because she was born with six fingers on each hand.
"It's my little oddity that I'm really proud of," she said to Esquire magazine. "It makes me different." Different indeed. The condition, called Polydactyly, occurs in 1 of every 500 births.
Don't bother looking for additional digits in the film, though. As a child, the surplus digits were "tied," which causes the boneless protrusions to fall off with time. She still bares bumpy scars where her extra appendages once were.
Earlier this year, she revealed that she was also born with a crumpled ear, which was surgically corrected in childhood. "I was born with lots of deformities," the 22-year-old actress told the British press.
Arterton, a graduate of London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art who was best known for a BBC adaptation of Thomas Hardy's "Tess of the D'Urbervilles," beat out 1,500 contenders to become the latest Bond girl. She admitted to InStyle magazine that having to kiss Daniel Craig on her first day working on the film had her "giggling left, right, and center and being really immature."
Next up for Arterton is the movie adaptation of the videogame Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, coming the summer of 2010. To see more of the genetically unusual but undeniably extraordinary future star, watch the behind-the-scenes video from "Quantum of Solace" below.

We're very pleased to confirm that legendary Hull singer-songwriter Mike Greaves has agreed to open the night for Paul and Jacqui.
For old Beautiful South fans, Mike is a familiar face and name, and the band recorded some of Mike's tremendous songs- and as you will find out on December 12th, he continues to write and perform new songs. Mike was also a big part of Paul's show the '8th' which was released on CD.
An old favourite is Mike's song 'Diamonds Always Shine' which appeared as a B-side on 'Old Red Eyes is Back'. Mike and Jacqui performed the song together at Paul's pub in Salford a year or two ago:
Of the 'Hatfield Brigade' - the Hatfield Main Coalminers we are supporting, we are pleased now to unveil a (blurred) version of the T-shirt that will be available to purchase on the night. These T-shirts will be strictly limited edition. All profits from the sale of the 'Heatongrad to Hatfield Main' T-shirt will go to the miners to help them and their fight to preserve and keep the memory alive of their history, community and culture.
On the practical front, if you are attending the gig, there are a number of ways you can show solidarity with our other partners on the night. The Campaign Against Living Miserably will be selling the limited edition GMB Union 'Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott' badge. All proceeds from these sales will go towards fighting male suicide.
For the Foodbanks, if you can spare a non-perishable item or two, they will be greatly received. Last year Porch Boxes in Bury were able to deliver over 300 Christmas boxes to families across Bury, Middleton and central Manchester. As well as food items, these boxes include every day essentials like toothpaste, deodorant, shampoos etc.
In Moss side, the people in the Foodbanks there were able, with your generosity, to provide warm breakfasts for the homeless and those just in need of a warm meal and a friendly face over the festive period.
As with last year, we are very pleased to welcome Suma Wholefoods aboard, the UK's largest independent wholefood wholesaler/distributor, specialising in vegetarian, fairly traded, organic, ethical and natural products. Suma are a workers' co-operative committed to ethical business.
There's some more about Suma here.
They will be distributing their foods across Manchester via the GMB Union to those in need in Oldham and the surrounding areas.
But most of all, this evening will be about solidarity. So if you cannot contribute any more than what you have already paid for your ticket, we understand, and you are still most welcome to join us.
You can buy tickets for the gig by clicking here

(re)writing slowly
These are two characters from a project I've been working on for a while now. I was lamenting to my friend Anya the other day about being a slow writer. Or maybe not necessarily a slow writer, but a writer who rewrites a lot of times before she gets it right - or doesn't get it right, and then keeps on rewriting. It means that I don't often finish something different and new. It means I spend years in the same story trying to carve out its proper shape. It means I get frustrated and disappointed with myself, because why can't I just get it right sooner?
But as I thought about it, I started to see that there are good things that come from spending so much time in the same story. Take the aforementioned project above as an example. I started writing it when my Pa started forgetting my name three years ago. It was the first time I came face to face with the realization that the people I loved best and the place I belonged to most would one day not be mine anymore. This scared me more than anything had ever scared me before and I started writing a story as a way to combat that fear. I was determined to keep these people and this place, to make them permanent so that I would never have to let them go or have them taken away from me. I can still remember where I was when I first jotted down the idea that would grow into this novel: sitting on the hill where my grandparent's house is perched and staring out at the woods.
Fast forward two and a half years and I am revising that same novel in the hospital room where my grandfather is dying. And it's there that my self from two years ago, the self who thought she could stop her world from crumbling using just the power of her words, meets up with the girl who is in the midst of that crumbling world and knows the truth: the words aren't enough. And while that scared, naïve girl couldn't save me from the pain and the grief of watching him die, she did something greater. She saw the chasm and she wrote a story for the girl standing on the other side.
And that would never have happened if I had gotten it right the first time.

Venezuela Implements Two-day Workweek to Save Electricity
May 23, 2016
Filed under International, News
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
As a last resort to save electricity Venezuela introduced a new concept: two-day workweeks. President Nicolás Maduro made the decision to create this temporary solution so that employees can sit through blackouts at home, rather than at work.
The schedule will have public employees working on Monday and Tuesday and spending the rest of the week at home. Schools will close every Friday.
Blackouts have plagued the country since the beginning of April, lasting at least four hours at a time. This left shopping malls deserted in darkness, very little food supplies at restaurants, and markets in danger of spoiling.
The emergency rationing caused troubling results within just a few hours after Murdo's announcement on Tuesday night. Venezuelans began to riot after a power outage lasted more than twelve hours. The enraged citizens torched a bus, robbed stores, and attacked the headquarters of the government power company Corpoelec.
The reason the oil-rich country can't keep on the lights is due to bad decisions made by the government years ago. The country looked at the potential of hydroelectric power and its rich petroleum deposits and decided to export one and live off the other, ultimately leaving the country to depend on its power from the Guri Dam.
The dam supplies about 60 percent of the country's electricity and has the generating capacity of more than 10 gigawatts, five times the output of the Hoover Dam. When it's working that is.
The reservoir has dropped down to a record low point, just five feet above "catastrophe point." At this point, the turbines will stop turning and risk breaking down. With rain not falling fast enough, it is a very possible outcome.

Meet Crystal Warren. She is a sex addict. This is the expression she adopts when on the prowl. If she were a man, it would be called 'cruising'.
We're saying nothing. Except, 'Crystal Warren'? Really?
She was on This Morning yesterday *checks* morning to talk about her sex addiction in a feature inspired, one imagines, by the current box office smash, The Iron Lady. During the discussion, Crystal (we'll be the judge of that) says she has, you know, shitloads of sex. Which only goes to prove. It really does.
She even pops out of a lunch to get a gobble. Poor bastards.
'If I didn't manage to have sex I'd be unproductive all afternoon.'
And pasty white pudding Eamonn Holmes is subsequently being slapped round his jowls for suggesting this mister-sister should make money out of her sex addiction. In a rare moment of clarity, he came up with this humdinger of a proposal.
'Have you ever thought about making a business of it? Charging for it?'
The Twitter-Twatter world was aghast, and not in a good way. It was up in arms, and not in a good way. It went into meltdown, and not in a good way.
In conclusion, Crystal's hair.
ps. Is that Caroline Aherne?

BANG! Flirtatious wins at her 2nd ever race start!
Wow, what a win by Flirtatious!
Flirtatious won at her second ever race start at Terang.
Yes it is a long way away from Melbourne, but it doesn't change the fact that she was impressive in her win against males in an Open 2yo Maiden over 1000m.
Flirtatious drew barrier 1, and ridden by Daniel Moor, she was pushed out of the barriers to be sitting just behind the leading bunch on the rails. She travelled quiet nicely for Daniel, and was waiting for his run once they turned into the straight. The leader shot 2 lengths clear at the top of the straight, and Daniel looking for a run, shot Flirtatious back to the rails and once she got balanced powered home to gather in the leader and win by 0.5 lengths, in the time of 57.51s on a track rated a Good (3).
We were expecting her to be doing her best work over the last 200m of the race, and she didn't let us down. There is no doubt she has ability, and she will be more suited as the distance of the races get longer.
This is exciting especially since Flirtatious is owned by the first ever all female Dream Girls syndicates.
Alot of our Dream Girls members are first time owners, and are now first time winners!!
Congratulations to all the Dream Girls, and we know there is much more fun in store for you all with Flirtatious!
Crack open a bottle of Pommery tonight, and enjoy you day in the sun!

Christmas may get buried under the catalogues of holiday cheer, present buying, and a lot of food prep stress, but the 2 thousand-year-old holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus has one of the most complex and interesting timelines of any holiday in the history of the world. The annual festival celebrated on Dec. 24, Dec. 25, January 7, and Jan 19 depending on denomination, is both a cultural and deeply religious occasion celebrated by billions of people around the world. From the inclusion of the Christmas tree to the annual gift-giving, the feast day that spans through modern history has many traditions, myths, and stories that resonate around the globe.

A WAR of words broke out in the business community of Greater Manchester after a survey commissioned by Peel Holdings showed 80 per cent of companies would vote against congestion charging in a referendum.
Transport chiefs - backed by Ken Knott, chief executive of Ask Property Development - dismissed the poll as `skewed' because they say it failed to link road-pricing plans to the £3bn of public transport cash that would be demanded in return.
But Peel's managing director Andrew Simpson fired back, saying critics were `attempting to rubbish anyone who dares to disagree with their pet political project'. Here we print their highly-charged statements, letters and comments . . . .
Andrew Simpson, managing director of Peel Holdings said in a press statement:
"This tax is a cause of serious concern to employers and those who drive the Manchester economy. It will hamstring businesses and drive away potential investors in the city.
"In the global economy, many businesses can relocate very easily. This kind of disincentive will only encourage investors to go elsewhere.
"We're equally concerned about the effects on small businesses, many of whom are our suppliers. The effects on business across the board would be very painful but it will be too late to attract them back once they've gone.
"We fully support the Federation of Small Businesses' call for a referendum but I can't believe people will support this tax."
Roger Jones, chairman of the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Authority, said in his press statement:
"AGMA is encouraging all views on the issues surrounding the potential £3bn of public transport improvements and the possible introduction of a congestion charge.
"This is part of an initial consultation to gauge the views of Greater Manchester's business communities, a substantial sample of businesses will be contacted for their opinions.
"This particular poll does not reflect reality as it only asks about congestion charges and not about public transport improvements. We would, of course, expect a majority to vote against road charging if it was introduced in isolation, in the way this poll suggests.
"However, a limited peak time-only scheme in Greater Manchester will only be considered alongside £3bn of improvements in public transport.
"The feedback we have indicates increasing congestion is a real concern for businesses in Greater Manchester.
"The fact that a substantial minority, 20 per cent, are in favour of charging in response to a this skewed poll confirms the level of concern among the Greater Manchester public about congestion and environmental issues."
Chris Fletcher, policy director at the Greater Manchester Chamber, said in an interview with the M.E.N:
"In the straw polls we have done we have heard some mixed views, although not quite as polarised as this survey.
"Some are totally against it, and some say it is not too bad and they can see the benefits. There has been a barrage of information relating to the planned transport improvements (that would accompany the charge) and some members have welcomed those."
Ken Knott, chief executive of Ask Property Development, told the M.E.N:
"As a company with a substantial investment, both in the city centre and in many satellite towns throughout the city-region, particularly focused on regeneration and employment creation, we have considered the proposals carefully and we are minded to support, subject to the congestion charge only being levied when substantial public transport improvement has been delivered and also to the charge being strictly limited to the peak periods.
"The recent poll trivialises the very serious debate currently underway about the possibility of road pricing in conjunction with £3bn of transport improvements. No sensible business leader would ever support road pricing in isolation - the possibility of a road charge can only be considered in context of improving future transport in the region.
"We are currently all paying a hidden tax - congestion - which causes delays to our transport and eats up our time. The real issue to be resolved is what, if anything, we want to do about this ghost charge on our resources. Greater Manchester's local authorities are currently seeking the views of the public and businesses.
"It is vital that all those involved express themselves and make their views heard. I am surprised that the survey, which looks at road pricing in isolation, was not 100 per cent against road pricing - no one would support road pricing without some improvements in public transport or highways.
"People should not be influenced by polls which have no basis in reality, are skewed towards sectional interests and serve only to meet the interests of those who want everyone to carry on driving, no matter what the cost to our businesses, environment and health.
"Greater Manchester has never shirked its responsibilities to creating a better society, difficult choices have to be made.
"The best thing that can be said about this disingenuous poll is that it might increase the level of debate about the price we all pay for congestion, and I would urge those interested to feed their views to the information website www.gmfuturetransport.co.uk."
Richard Barron, managing director of Aspect Market Research said in a press statement:
"Councillor Jones is completely wrong to cast aspersions on our research. All the businesses that were surveyed were fully briefed on the proposed public transport improvements before they were interviewed.
"Councillor Jones is trying to distract attention from the key finding - that business is overwhelmingly against the proposed tax."
